Numerical simulations were carried out for investigating the lateral aerodynamic characteristics of an air-to-air missile using an in-house-developed Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes code, CERANS. The analyses were carried out for Mach numbers from 0.8 to 2.0 and angles of attack ranging from 10 to 20 deg for roll sweeps from to . The rolling-moment behavior of the missile at Mach 1.2 and an angle of attack of 15 deg was explicitly and exhaustively analyzed because this flight condition is critical from the point of view of severe induced roll. The necessity of studying the rolling-moment behavior at finer roll orientations is demonstrated. The main objectives of the investigations are to explain the governing physical phenomenon and the resultant complex flow behavior that caused excessive induced roll generated during the critical flight condition.
